Silver 6th gen crew represent!

"Complete detachment" is why I still use one every day. Modded 512gb 6th gen, and working on a 128gb 4th gen rn. Biking to work, at the gym, on the bus, in the car, any time. No WiFi/data needed, long lasting battery, no notifications interrupting my music, higher quality sound and files vs Spotify and bluetooth headphones etc, just pure music. Plus I OWN my music. It can't disappear because record labels get weird/greedy.

I have a collection of Apple decices and Im relling you, these devices literally cannot be killed. You can still get battery, storage, even screen to replace the old ones. Its crazy!

I recently visited Japan and was able to buy a 6th gen silver iPod classic for $40. It was marked as junk, so I didn’t expect it to work. But to my surprise, it did work, and it looks rather decent aesthetically. I very much agree about how the experience of it is different from listening to music on your phone. Great video!

As someone who still regularly uses a 3rd gen Nano for pleasure, a janky 1st gen Nano for when I do heavy duty work, and a 4th gen Shuffle very occasionally to prevent the battery from dying, let me tell you: synchronizing it’s not that burdensome when you already have playlists organized. It DOES take some effort to organize your music library in the first place, but it’s doable. I eschew music streaming services for the reasons given on the video, and due to the fact that mobile data is both unreliable and expensive where I live, so, keeping an offline dedicated music player is totally viable in 2023 and beyond, specially for those who don’t live in a first world country.

If it can run smoothly without internet, just that alone makes an electronic music device a classic. 👍😉

Just bought a 7th gen tonight. Wanna relive that old nostalgia. I'm so excited to load up so music and jam out at work

I have all sorts of iPods ranging from the classic to the shuffle and here and there I get into a retro mood where I’ll listen to them for 4 hours at a time

Great summary of why the iPod is still great. For me, the 7th gen 160gb is the best daily driver iPod. I love the sound of the 5.5 videos but they lack the RAM to shuffle large libraries. The 4th gens are awesome because you can always see what's playing and they sound great.

When you stream, a streaming service is letting you listen to their music With an iPod, you own the music.

I still use my 5th and 7th gen classics - I don’t have Spotify anymore because I found I was paying to listen to music I already owned and I hated that. I recently picked up a 2nd gen mini and am planning on modding the storage so I can use that too.

Treated myself on my 50th to the ipod classic photo version. Ive still got it and play it, it lasts about an hour and a half of continuos play on the original battery. Yep 18 years same battery and still working. FYI 2005 when that version came out. good vid.

i have 2 of them .. one in my car because i hate ads and nothing better quality than a wired devices , plus its so satisfying to use

I really hope your channel blows up, your presentation and editing style is really nice

You seriously need more subs lol very impressive how much work you put into it

although having only used my uncle’s old classic once or twice, at that time i just fell in love with the ipod, just the feeling that you’re COMPLETELY disconnected from everything to just listen to your music kinda just grabbed me, i’ve been dying to mod an ipod

Great video :) Ive got a 5th gen and its amazing. Will mod it eventually, but am just gonna enjoy it with its original hard drive for now!

Elite Obsolete Electronics sells great rebuilt iPODS FOR AROUND $130 usd with 128 GB of storage. Well worth the price,

i've got a 5th gen, 60gb. have pumped a load of songs on it, and i still have most of the storage available. I was really impressed with the batterylife when i used it for music for a trip to another city. about 7h travel time plus.. a few more hours goin about. when i got back, i left it in a drawer for a month and it still didnt run out of battery

I never owned an iPod Classic growing up (born in 2001) I'm seriously considering getting either a modded 5.5 gen or a modded 7th gen. A rule I've given myself is I'll only spend what they cost at launch the exception to this is, that it's slightly more expensive because it has Bluetooth or USB-C.

I still regularly use a 7th gen iPod classic and I love it, might rebuild it sometime soon cause the hard drive is having some issues

Nice vid mate

My new old stock 5th gen arrived today. The battery was still fully charged.

beautiful video

Any recommendations for iems for iPod classic 5.5?

Listening to music through an iPod is just magical.

I recently got an ipod mini and upgraded it to 256gb. This thing is awesome! Having a dedicated music player is really something special and I love getting away from my phone

Ipods is more personal...I still have mine with my favorite music... And brings me back to my middle/highschool years

I’d love a modern version of this, a bit thinner, same wheel and screen size but the ability to link your Apple Music account (same way to link your Apple Watch) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

More than 10yrs later I'm still salty that my 160gb iPod Classic was stolen from a changing room when it had slipped out of my pocket and I didn't notice for 5, maybe 10 minutes. It also needs to be said how good iTunes was too, in particular Genius Playlists, when I upgraded to an M1 Mac and was forced to migrate to the Music app... I was shocked by how much worse it is than iTunes. The only real downside to the Classic was the relatively sharp edge of the front of the device would gradually cut it's way through your jeans pockets if you didn't put it in a case or sleeve or some sort.

I have the ipod video 5.5 gen modded 2Tb . An the ipod mini modded to 256gb. Definitely my favorites. ❤

I REALLY LIKED YOUR VIDEO BRO I HAVE 6TH AND 7TH GENERATION OF IPOD CLASSIC 160 GB STILL WORKING OVER 14 YARS , BUT THE 6TH GEN BATTERY LONG LASTING MORE THAN THE 7TH ONE

Love my 6th gen that I can use everyday in our 2017 and 18 VAG cars that was a present to me in 2008.!

I still use a 80gs ipod classic, the battery is not what it used to so I’ll probably be upgrading the battery and hard drive soon.

great video!

people in the year 3146: "This aged like space milk" 💀💀💀

Hi there! is it possible to transfer music from latest versions of Apple Music onto the ipod? My MacBook no longer supports iTunes

You can still do streaming services for free though you’ll have to deal with adds. I’ll still have Spotify and Pandora on the iPhone but if it’s not a holiday I’m going to my iPod and I’ll get good use out of my CDs. Listen to the Album like we did back then rip and shuffle.

I love my iPod, tried to upgrade it with a new battery and sd card storage. Bloody struggling to get it working tho

I hope apple make one with current tech but old design and ui with physical scroll wheel

good watch

I've been trying to find one IRL because shipping stuff to New Zealand sucks ass. I haven't found one yet, but when I do, I plan on modding it with an SSD so I can fit all of my record transfers and take them with me without wasting space on my phone. Sure I could use my old phone for the same thing, but the screen is cracked so badly that I doubt it would fit in my pocket without little glass shards ending up everywhere.

You could get complete detachment by using a second smartphone with no apps and no SIM card. It might not be as cool but it will be cheaper

I trashed my 120gb cause replacement parts is not too available in my country (philippines) but now i think is coming back (parts) made me thinking to upgrade my other 80 gb (faulty batt)...

Been there, done that. Mine now sits in a dock in my HiFi system, rarely used. Mostly I now use it as an audio source when testing equipment that is not conveniently near a computer etc. I can't say I've had any real trouble with iTunes, However I hate their flat file system, where the only thing separating tracks is a play list. I usually store my music in artist/album folders on my PC, and having to lose all that in iTunes to feed the iPod (or iPhone) is crap. I've never got enthused by the streaming services, and social media .... I can easily go a week or two without it. Most of my music lives on a NAS, and my iPhone is often just a remote used to drive my Volumio network player.

Nice

I love my ipods. Glad I never sold them. I have the ipod Hi-Fi too. Just plug in the ipod for great sound.

ok, ok... but where do I get music knowadays? where do I download it from?

Apple needs to bring back the cover art flow on landscape mode on iPhones

They now sell upgraded iPod classics with optional usb c ports and 3000mah batteries

I forgot I even had one. I've got a bit of nostalgia for it, but I can't imagine myself ever using it again. The interface is clunky by modern touch standards and frankly I don't listen to music on the go anymore.

i have 1 17 yo ipod and 3 new in box but i gave up listening to music for listening to youtube on my phone. the only downside is the lack of wireless charging & connection and native bluetooth support

I miss my Classic but honestly there are just better, less clunky options for modern DAPs today too, having to mod is fun but depending on that 30-pin connector is not.

I still have mine that i use till this day classic ipods are way better than streaming

I FOUND IN EBAY AN ULTIMATE IPOD CLASSIC 2 TB WITH BLUETOOTH , I COULDN'T BELEIVE IT , AND HOPE YOU MAKE REVIEW ABOUT IT THANKS

Woe unto you who wait for wrapped and replay😂

It’s more difficult to obtain digital media from 0- 10,000 songs is incredibly difficult to obtain media when you have the iPod classic.

~na-noh~

I have two factory sealed :)

😮

I still have a functioning ipod classic, 80gb black model lmao

I mean… eventually mother boards will fail but other than that, all the other parts are easily replaced. I’ve got spare parts in a box, I should probably just order working whole motherboards at this point. Today I only have 2 working motherboards.

First gen 128gb mini coming through

Never die LOL 😂 i literally don't know anyone who would use it. Nor I've seen anyone in the street or public transport using it. I just asked my teenage daughter if she knows what it is. No idea 😂

What’s wrong with wired headphones bruh

is ur gun pink?

use do not disturb if you want to listen to music on your phone peacefully

"streaming has any music from any artists" not nintendo video game music lol

I just download my music to my phone instead of streaming

Just remember what eminem told us Always purchase music through authorized retailers that pay royalties to the artists

I know English can be difficult. You do not need to say 'literally' to emphasise a point - it is implied by default. Simply say 'figuratively' on the rare occasions when your statement is not literal.

That’s crap mine had a hd failure

Avoid 6th gen because it has jankier software that has trouble reading higher storage capacity. Go with 5th gen or 7th gen if you have an absolute ton of music.

wired headphones for ever... iPod Calssic can be repared at will.

Wired head phones rule. Bluetooth still sucks. I bought a used older iPhone just for songs and podcasts.

Not any!

even i have one, ipods are better

I did cancel my Spotify subscription. No regrets.

I loved my iPod Nano! I was OBSESSED! I still can’t remember the feeling of opening it on Christmas morning! Sidenote: my stepbrothers (twins) who are your younger than me? Also got one and only one that was left out was my younger brother (who’s four years younger than me). Let me tell you he was big mad. 😂
